Question

The overall reaction for the formation of nitrogen and oxygen from N2O is

2N2O(g) →2N2(g) + O2(g) Based on experimental data the reaction has been shown to be a two step process as follows:

N2O(g) →N2(g) + O(g) (slow)

N2O (g) + O(g) →N2(g) + O2(g)  

What is the rate law for the overall reaction?

 

a) 

Rate=k

 

b) 

Rate = k[N2O]

 

c) 

Rate = k[N2O]2

 

d) 

Rate = k[N2O][O]
